Appearance

Armadiloids are based on armadillos while taking the general concept used for the Turtloids: a larger Armadiloid serves as the vessel that flies a tinier, Armadiloid standing on top of it. They are mainly colored burgundy, with gray legs and heads, and yellow chest plating. They also have cartoonish eyes, with black pupils.

Overview

In Sonic Mania, and its expansion Sonic Mania Plus, Armadiloids appear exclusively in Mania Mode's Mirage Saloon Zone Act 1, and only during Sonic, Tails, Mighty and Ray's section of the Act. In gameplay, they simply glide around in the sky, firing at Sonic and Tails when at point-blank range. A Spin Attack aimed towards the tinier Armadiloid will be enough to defeat this Badnik, freeing the Animal inside. The larger Armadiloid however, is indestructible though the player can stand on it like a platform.
